Chapter 412: The Challenge

By the time Chandler arrived at the musical instrument area, Meryl had already been taken away from the mall by the bodyguards. Chandler only saw Dalton waiting there.

Chandler didn’t want to act with Dalton anymore, so he stepped forward and grabbed Dalton by the collar. “Where did you hide Meryl?”

Dalton pretended to be innocent. “Uncle Chandler, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”

Chandler knew that Dalton was acting, so he punched him hard in the face.

The corner of Dalton’s lips was broken, and blood oozed out. “Are you trying to trick me? Do you want to die?” Chandler said angrily. “Dalton, you can’t escape this by pretending to be stupid. Do you know how your father went abroad? Do you also want to be kicked out of the Aniston family? Or do you even want to give up your life?”

Dalton licked the wound and spat out the blood. With cunning in his eyes, he said, “I am not my father. I will not know if she wants to get rid of you and be with me?”

Dalton’s words proved that Meryl was in his hands.

Chandler sneered, “Do you think you can deceive me by stealing her phone and sending me messages? Do you dare to let her confront me in person?”

“Why not?” Dalton met Chandler’s gaze. “Uncle Chandler, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, Meryl and I will be waiting for you at the villa in the north of the city.”

Meryl never thought that she would be dragged away from the shopping mall by a group of bodyguards. After a while, she realized that Chandler must come to save her, so Dalton was so nervous. But several bodyguards surrounded her, leaving her no room to resist.

Meryl was forcibly stuffed into the car, and her mouth was even covered on the way. Seeing Dalton getting into the car, she broke free and slapped him in the face angrily.

The bodyguards who had just let go of her immediately controlled her again.

Dalton’s face was cold. “Let her go.”

Regaining her freedom, Meryl raised her hand again and swung it towards Dalton’s face. She kept yelling at and hitting him. “What do you think of me? Dalton, you said I’m not your pet. Don’t you think you are too much?”

Dalton didn’t say anything. He dodged her slap, and he knew it was hard for Meryl to accept this. Knowing that she was angry, Dalton wanted to pull her into his arms.

“Meryl, please don’t be angry. I’m too worried about you.”

Meryl couldn’t pretend anymore. She pushed Dalton away and didn’t look at him again along the way. Seeing the car driving towards the villa, Meryl thought she had...
